Right now it’s one of the images that came with the theme. I’m looking for a better one on my hard drive. I didn’t see it so much as “violent” as spooky and spectral, which doesn’t really fit my persona or themes of research, but I thought it would work as a placeholder.

Wow – this was a surprise when I clicked here. It seems more you than the original Collage. More collagy. Will you change the photo regularly as you do with Sisyphean? Does this in any way come from our CCCC talk? Hmmm….

I don’t really have plans with the photo in the header (except that late last night I accidentally changed it back to an older photo, but it’s back to a picture of me). I don’t think there was impetus from our 4C’s talk â€” it mostly came out wanting better blogware (newer version of WordPress) and a new look that was more fun and had two columns in the sidebar instead of one.

Thanks Dennis! The green shows up with enough contrast on my MacBook, so perhaps the problem is your PC? 😉 J/K

Yes, “syndicate” is misspelled (though a google search showed that a lot of people spell it “sindicate”). I just spent the last hour and a half trying to figure out how to fix it, but I’m at a loss. It’s not spelled that way in any of the php files I can find (the problem seems to lie in the fact that the theme creator spoke Spanish and so was not translating accurately, but I can’t find the word anywhere in my files, for the life of me). Ugh. I have to do homework, so I guess I’ll change it later.

Nice design update! I’ve used this theme in the past and it took me some time to translate some of the css from Spanish to English. The only thing that I am disappointed in with the new site’s look is the conspicuous lack of a link back to my site 😉

If I turn all the lights off in my office the green on the right shows up decently….I would say it has more to do with my 6 year old, low-quality-when-it-was-new monitor than anything else, though even with all the lights off it’s pretty dark.
